Abstract
A total of 71 strains of Clostridium septicum isolated from chickens and cattle and 13 reference strains derived from National Collection of Type Cultures and Wellcome Research Laboratories were examined for their susceptibility to eight antibiotics. Most of the strains had relatively high susceptibility to the drugs employed showing minimum inhibitory concentrations of 0.013 to 3.13 μg/ml, though some of the avian isolates were suggested to have some degree of resistance to tetraeycline as compared to the reference strains.
